CHAPTER w.
PERCINAL RETURNS.

1t was about the middle of January Tho
funeral was over, and Sophia was sitting
alone in the little morning room which had
been her mothers favorite spot. Car and
Sibyl had gone home, and Goldmore was
down stairs in the library examining the old
lady's papers, the greater portion of which
had only just now been obtained, as her
solicitor had been from home. He had
arrived half an hour ago, and, together with
Goldmore, was going into the affairs. Sophia
sat alone. full of foreboding and dreariness
1t was after four o'clock; the sky was sullen
and gray; mist was rising all round the
house. Dreary, dreary world! Sophia's
heart went off-as it had done a hundred
times every day for months past-to Aus
tralia and Percival, and that odious Mrs
Lanigan. She had in her minds eye quite a
picture of her rival; tall, handsome woman,
with free eyes, a high color, and dark eye
brows and hair How could Percival have
liked such a creature? Then there was the
wonder which had haunted her now for
weeks. Would Percival come to see her
when he arrived in England' Would he
imagine she did not knows Could she steel
her heart and repel him as she ought!
So constant had these reflections and ques-
tionings been of late that what followed was
q coincidence only i'll appearance. "Will
Percival come to mel" was actually on the
tip of that inward tongue with which we
soliloquize when her maid came into the
room with an expressive face, saying:
"Gentleman called to see you, miss" adding,
in a kind Of unofficial whisper: SITS Nh.
Brent, miss"
She had heard all the gossip of the town;
but her face and tone signified that if she
were mistress and not maid, Perciyal should
be forgiven at once, and more than forgiven
shortly. But Sophia was too agitated for
observation. Should she say: Not at homea
Engageds Cannot see him! Her heart had
almost stopped beating; but, resolved not to
let her maid see anything, she said, in as
quiet voice as she could command:
"Show him up"

THE FATE OF THE INDIAN.

In his Report just presented to Con
gress, Secreatry Lamar gives the following
as the result of his careful consideration
of the condition and prospects OF Indians.
who have suffered such fearful wrong at
the hands of their: white neighbors and
of the United States government:
"The only alternative now presented To
the American Indian race is speedy en-
trance into the, pale of American ciyiliza1
tion, or absolute extinction. In order to
escape the latter and attain the former
three conditions of preparation are indis;
pensable. The first Is to gee established
in this race the idea and habitude of In
dividual property-holding, through reliI
ance upon its inviolabifity and perfect
sense of security in the enjoyment of itS
benefits. Second, an education of the en1
tire mass of the youth of this race, em1
bracing thorough knowledge of the use
of the English language in the daily af1
fairs of life, arithmetic, and the mechanical
arts among the males, and among the fe|
males the domestic arts in use with thai
sex. Third, a substitution Of the univer1
sal operation of law among them IN the
enforcement of justice and the protection
of person and property, and the punish1
ment of crimes for the agencies of forcd
and superstition"
Secretary Lamar also states that tha
two parties concerned have under considI
GRAFTON the question of the removal oI
the Cherokees in North Carolina and else
where east of the Mississippi to the Cher
okee Nation. There are about three thous
and of these Cherokees; and like the rest q
the tribe in the west, they are to considI
erable extent civilized and ChristianizedI
The Secretary recommends that Congress
appropriate the necessary amount of fund,
to pay the expenses of transportation
should the parties in treaty agree.

A COMPARATIVELY UNKNOWN
Observation-Disclosures one hears
mention of the frontier he naturally
thinks of the west, or wild west, as
they always say in New York. But
there is another frontier as thorough
ly deservingof the name as that i'm
aginary line which runs in zigzag
manner from Mexico to British Co.
lumbia. | had never thought Of it
Until last week, when | went on a
trip and tried to penetrate the Wilds
of Wisconsin and Michigan. In the
great lumber regions of these States
there is a frontier life that is as
crude, rough and wild as that of Ari-
zona or Dakota. The men are un-
couth, and their lives as hard as
those OF their brethren in the far west.
They have their border towns, with
dance halls, gambling excitement
and brief existence, for when log
ging camp moves the town goes with
it and begins again further north in
the great woods. They have their
quiet lynching bees and their fights
and bad whisky. They make money
fast and squander it, just as they do
in the mining regions of Colorado
and the cattle camps of Texas; only
this frontier is more excluded and
out of hearing, so to speak. There is
plenty of litigation there, but it is all
criminal, which shows what merry
fellows these frontiersmen must be-

NORTH AND SOUTH,

1t is greatly to the credit of Mr.. Henry
w. Grady, of the Atlanta Constitution and
of the New Englanders of the strictest sect
whom he recently addressed, that he won
their enthusiastic approval by speech
which was distinctly sectional in being
delivered from the standpoint and in the
spirit of the section in which Mr.. Grady
was born and nurtured. That it was NO
less patriotic than sectional was such a
surprise to Mr.. Grady's audience that the
expression of their admiration has ma
terially added to his reputation as an ora
tor.
This is scarcely to be wondered at.
Where New England had heard before
the expression of "Southern sentiment"
it was from the writers of books for the
Boston market-from such men as Mr..
George w. Cable who conformed to New
England ideas and prejudices the better
to acquire New England money. Mr..
Grady has simply voiced the sentiment of
his section in language appropriate to the
occasion that gave him the opportunity,
and he is doubtless surprised that he i'm
mediately became nine days. wonder to
all New England.
With all its gratifying features, the in
cident suggests that the misconception of
each other that has so long existed be-
tween the sections represented by Mr..
Grady. and Mr.. Grady's audience is still
far from being thing of the past: To
New England the typical Southerner is ar
rogant and shiftless, with disloyal ten
dencies. To the South the typical New
Englander is creature whose ruling pas

CHAPTER III.
SOPHIA HAS THREE coUNsELoRs.

Nor was poor Sophia left alone with her
sorrow We have all friends in this world
some who wish us well, and some who wish us
nothing of the kind Ill wishers and well
wishers sometimes are equals in making us
uneasy. And thus it was with Sophia, for
while she was shut up with her mother in the
sick house various persons found opportunity
to disturb her with counsel or warning. The
indefatigabe Mrs. Hands, who had fully
made up her mind that the young woman
must and should marry young John Done,
managed to work her way into the house
several times. Sophia now feared and hated
the widow in equal parts, although she could
not deny that, in telling her the truth about
Percival, she had acted the part of friend.
"My dear Sophia" this energetic dame
said, II hear that Brent is coming home
bankrupt, they say; character and cash both
gone! should like to see you comfortably
settled before that time, and in position to
treat him as he deserves. Now, while your
mother is still living, and able to be COM
forted, settle yourself, Sophia, settle your
self. My dear, know one young man, at
least, who would be at your feet in an hour
after the time l told him there was hope
that you would change your mind and say
yes know the young man."
"Thank you," Sophia replied, hastily.
Her cheeks were on fire at the bare idea OF
seeing Percival again. II shall stay with

lately" he says tenderly. ''Thinls no more
about it, dear"
She hated herself for her doubts. She would
confes, all to him. No, she would not. Yes,
she would. Then at last she answered.:

s'Look in another day." Sophia said me-
chanically; and the widow took herself off,
Poor Sophia stood silent, just where Mrs
Hands left her, still holding the hateful
paper which had stabbed her to the h art.
She was numb and stupid with the bow.
For this, then, she had loved and waited in
uncomplaining constancy for nearly six
years! Only to learn that her lover was u
rake-satisfed and pleased with the caressea
Of light dame like Mrs Lanigan-unworthy
Of her affection, or the affection Of any true
woman! Had there been any excuse for,
him, even had it been the blaming Of herself,
gladly she would have pleaded it before her
own Judgment now Had she been married
to him she might have disappointed his ex-
pectation, and so driven him to other women
for pleasure. Had they even been meeting
occasionally she might.not have been warm
enough, charming enough; twenty excuses
might have been urged on his behalf. Now
the fault must have been all his own. She
had kept her VOW and had found the joy Of
her life in keeping it. If any doubt of him
had crcpt into her mind at times she had re-
buked it instantaneously. With her whole
soul, morning, noon and night, and with an
almost religious punctuality, she had cher
ished his memory, encircling it with her
warmest memories and her purest prayers.
And here he was exchanging her love for the
favors of.an actress, who sold her smiles with
as quick an eye to profit as shopman sells
his wares. The downfall of Sophias hopes
was complete The most refined ingenuity
could not have discovered q more perfect and
total fern of torture. Her whole life was
turned into wilderness. Her mother was
right. Better live for the world, better marry
for money, better lay hold Of material COM
fort and the pleasures of sense and fashion.
These had no power to break and crush the
heart like lofty ideas refuted by reality, and
devoted hopes crushed by hard fact. With
all these thoughts whirling through her brain
in struggling crowd, Sophia stood on, stony
and fearless, in the center of the room, until
suddenly the door was thrown open, and
Mrs Temples maid came flying in with her
cap disordered and dismay in every feature.
"Come, miss! come quick" she called out.
@Come up stairs; missus is going on SO queer!

FREEZING To DEATH.

One winters day, says Rev. James
O'Neill in lecture, reported by the Phil
adelphia Times, I left Mauch Chunk for
an appointment in the mountains. In
the valley the thermometer registered 16
degrees below zero, and when 1 reached
the plateau it touched 90 degrees below,
with the wind blowing twenty miles per
hour. Presently I experienced sharp,
piercing pains throughout my body, and
every nerve was affected. In short time
the pain ceased in the lower extremeties
and gradually passed upward until l was
entirely free from suffering. l cOngratu-
lated myself that was getting along nice
ly, and spoke encouragingly to my hardy
and faithful pony. In few moments l
felt sensations of intense happiness; a
thousand rainbows danced before my Wis
ion, seraphic songs of sweet melodies
sounded in my ears, and l felt that was
being borne upward on wings of delight,
when suddenlyFI felt severe shock, and
realized that had fallen off my horse to
the frozen ground. The shock of the fall
recalled me partially to my senses, and |
realized that was freezing to death. l
attempted to move my feet and arms, but
could not. With an effort born Of despe-
ration succeeded finally in dragging my
sell lew yarQS over tne HdTu SIouuu'
The time occupied probably five minutes
it seemed as many weeks to me. My po-
ny seemed to comprehend the desperate
situation and came and rubbed his nose on
my face; the warm breath was on my
cheek. The exercise of crawling revived
me little, and l finally succeeded in
getting into an upright position, leaning
heavily against my pony, who started
onward. After going short distance 1
met the farmer and his son, who were
expecting me at their home, and who,
becoming alarmed at my prolonged abb
sence, started out to see what was wrong.
When I was taken into their house |
swooned, and when I again awoke I was
standing in barrel of spring water and
again relapsed into insensibility. l did
not awaken again until next morning,
when 1 found myself in bed with my boots
on. Upon asking why this was done my
host replied that he had rescued number
of men from freezing, but that I was near
er deaths door than any he had ever seen,
and had my boots been taken off all the
flesh would have come with them.

that the only person to whom she said any
thing about her trouble was Prendergast.
Whatever had passed at the time Of his pro-
posal had set up something like an intimacy
between them; and one day when he called,
noticing that she looked pale, he made some
remark upon the trial her mothers illness
must be.
ut is not, mamma" she replied; "that
could bear; but oh, feel so weary and sick!
Ihave heard such dreadful things about the
man 1 believed loved me. Have you heard
anythinga Oh, do you believe it all?"
II am afraid Brent has forgotten himself" /"
Prendergast replied gravely, and said no
more.
Meanwhile her sisters, with the above e1-
ception, maintained on the subject an omin-
Gus and dreary silence; and her mother,
whom she carefully kept in ignorance Of the
reports, never mentioned Percivars name.
So poor Sophia, with her broken hopes, went
her dull round from day to day, nursing her
mother and communing with her own sad
heart, and there was not one ray Of cheerful
ness in her life. She grew pale and worn
and though she tried to be cheerful, every
one could see that care was eating her spirit
and strength away. Certainly the constrast
Of her appearance with that of Caroline, or
even with that Of Sibyl, was a warming
s6gamist living 46r an idea in this worldly
world. The other sisters might not indeed
have grasped the whole substance-in this
life who does? But Sophia's very shadow
had vanished away, and she was quite al"ne,
and destitute not only of pleasure but of illu-
sion, too.

sions are money worship and an itching
to meddle with other peoples business.
The sections have a great deal to learn
about each other and they will learn it in
time. Railroads and the telegraph are
great foes of provincialism and the typi-
cal New Englander and typical Southern
er are alike in being provincial. The
world would be badly off without the
virtues of provincialism, h"t intolerance
of any other form of, prov. .cialism than
its own is one of its disadvantages. AS
this wears away, Georgia and Massachu-
setts will grow better acquainted with
each other and make the surprising dis
covery that neither was so bad as the
other imagined Louis Republican.
